Ch 7 Flashcards
Which trends increase down and left?
AR, reactivity of metals
Which trends increase up and right?
EA, IE, EN, reactivity of non metals
Z*
= Z-s
Effective nuclear charge
Electron attachment enthalpy becomes more negative _____
Up and right
Why is EA and DeaH opposite signs?
Higher affinity - more spontaneous rxn when e- join atom - more exothermic - more neg DeaH
Valence e- of transition metals
Highest n shell - n-1 d subshell
Which she’ll do you remove e- from atoms?
From highest n shell
Removing e- from V, which orbital first?
4s
Which orbital do you add e- to?
Lowest E available
nodes in 3d orbital
2
Electron assigned to orbitals in order of increasing energy
Aufbau principle
Hunds Rule
e- spread out amongst all equal energy orbitals before pairing up
Pauli exclusion principle
No 2 e- can have same 4 quantum #
Largest atom in isoelectronic ions
Most negative ion (lowest Z, lower nuclear attraction)
F vs F-, which is smaller?
F (less e-e repulsion, same Z*)
